More on the Dick Morris conspiracy talk

After a revisit of the site yesterday, and a second listen to what he said, I am struck by the intensity of their beliefs.  Yet, there isn't evidence to support such, which tends to drive a person like me to distraction.

I read through all the comments.  There was one commenter who said something that appeared to have a possibility for research.  He said that a Secret Service Agent may have accidentally discharged his weapon and it struck Kennedy in the head.  The commenter pointed to a couple of books, which he claims has conclusive evidence that this was indeed what happened.

I'm not so sure.  Also, I'm not so sure that I want to spend a significant amount of time reading these books.  If Oswald was innocent, why was he running?  Why did he kill a police officer?  He was caught with the murder weapon of the officer.  He tried to use it again on the arresting officers.   This doesn't look like the actions of an innocent man.  But there is more, much more.  The evidence against Oswald is overwhelming.

Even if the Secret Service agent accidentally killed Kennedy, Oswald is still the blame for that.  The weapon wouldn't have been brought out ( if it even was, which hasn't been proven ) and it wouldn't have been a hazard if Oswald didn't create the situation.

There were those who challenged that Oswald couldn't have been the shooter.  I've seen these arguments before.  The answer to them is that no evidence of any other bullets were found.  Come up with that evidence, and then you can talk.

Other people keep bringing up motives, but this means nothing without the evidence, in which you've got nothing.

It is plausible that some kind of cover up may have been occurred, but plausibility proves nothing.
